been edited but not yet stored.
You can also press the [EDIT/COMPARE] key while

When you exit from the Voice Edit mode the “

either store the edited voice or select a different
voice number or mode. If you do select a different
voice number or mode prior to storing the edited
voice, the edited data will be lost! So be sure to store
edited voice data you want to keep, as described on
page 48.
Compare function is not available, when the voice
type is changed.
If you want to create a voice from scratch, it will be handy to
use initialize voice function (Voice Job mode, see page 148)
to initialize the voice you have selected.
